Gītā-mālā

(1)
hari he
māyā-baddha yata kṣaṇa, thāke to’ jīvera mana
jaḍa-mājhe kare vicāraṇa
paravyoma jñāna-maya, tāhe tava sthiti haya
mana nāhi pāya daraśana

O Hari! As long as the jīva’s mind remains bound by māyā, it wanders among material things. Your abode is in the conscious spiritual sky, but the mind cannot obtain its vision.

(2)
bhakti-kṛpā-khargāghāte, jaḍa-bandha cheda tā’te
yāya mana prakṛtira pāra
tomāra sundara rūpa, here taba aparūpa
jaḍa-vastu karaye dhik-kāra

By the stroke of the sword of bhakti’s mercy, material bondage is cut. Then the mind goes beyond material nature. Beholding your beautiful and incomparable form, it reproaches all material objects.

(3)
ananta vibhūti yāṅra, yini dayā-pārāvāra
sei prabhu jīvera īśvara
e bhaktivinoda dīna, sadā śuddha-bhakti-hīna
śuddha-bhakti māge nirantara

He whose opulences are unlimited and who is an ocean of compassion – that Lord is the Lord of the jīvas. This humble Bhaktivinoda, always devoid of pure bhakti, begs continually for pure bhakti.
